I LIKE IT!!! I wouldn't use it on my coop, but I'm building an outdoor smoker/hibachi/cooker/kabob pit/eating area, and I like that! Where do you get it and how expensive is it? Bob

Far as I'm concerned every house, much less farm situation, needs three guns: For"up close and personal" if I get surprised by a predator, two or four legged, a serious handgun. I like my .40 semi auto. For a situation with a bit of distance because I WAS paying attention, I have a 12 ga with...

Mine get potato scraps all the time...no problem Bob

I keep a laying flock of 100 hens...a third black sex links, a third RIR, and a third golden comets. The black sex links and the golden comets usually start at 18-20weeks with the RIRs a couple of weeks later. Bob

I was talking about tossing the broken ones on the ground for them as I gather the eggs. Will that turn them into intentional egg breaker/eaters? Bob

If I feed broken eggs back to my free range flock will it turn them into chickens that intentionally break and eat eggs? Bob

Bump

Harley's girl : Have you threatened to take them to the auction? LOL That is what I told my fuzzy butts! And low and behold they are ALL laying now! Heck, I told them they were either layers or fryers...their choice. It hasn't done any good. Bob

Quote: Vents are fine...remember, these gals were laying last year, up until November...they just won't start back up this spring no matter what I do it seems. I know I have no predation problems...they just won't lay. Bob

Quote: If you read my first post you'll find they are locked in a coop for now. Nowhere to hide eggs. Bob

More info... free choice oyster shell, combs and wattles well formed and BRIGHT red. They layed OK last year...all were hatched in Jan and Feb 07...and when it started getting dark earlier I didn't add light as my farmer;s market where I marketed the eggs closes the last of Oct. Went back to...

OK folks...HELP!!! I've had layers for several years, and while I didn't consider myself an expert, I thought I was a bit knowledgeable, but I'm flummoxed right now. My chickens won't lay. 80 layers, all 11-12 mos old, a third RIR, a third black sex links, and a third Golden Comets (gold sex...

Well...the internet may me worldwide (universewide?), but we seem to have a close clique right here...I'm in Piclens Co. Bob

I buy from Ideal. I wouldn't buy from anyone else unless they went out of business. Period. Bob

I'm on both sides of this issue. On the one hand, I'm FIRMLY on the side of property owners rights. I don't believe in government telling anyone what they can and cannot do with their own property except to protect public safety. I believe this to the point that I'm against ALL zoning laws...

Well, I'm NOT an entimologist, but I AM a redneck raised in S GA, the capitol of fire ant territory, and I've been dealing with fire ants for 43 of my 53 years, even now that I'm up here in the N GA mountains, and I speak from expirience...the grits thing works and works well. The bonuses are...

I personally like the "underwear in his car" idea. BB

Do the grits thing, but don't worry about waiting till it's gonna rain. The ants will eat it, and, like all living things, they will drink water. With or without rain they must have a source of water or they wouldn't have built a mound. When they drink the grits they ate expand and the ants...

I have a small goat dairy with 20 milkers, and 80 free range layers and also raise meat birds (new batch of 25 chicks a week). The meat birds are in tractors, but the layers and goats live together during the day and the chickens go in the coop at dusk...and no problems. Yes, the chickens do...
